“Alright, well I sat down to watch this movie without having a single clue as to what it was all about. I hadnu0026#39;t read anything about it, heard anything about it, or even googled it. I just sat down and watched it. I had expected it to be in the comedy corner, but it sort of isnu0026#39;t a comedy at all. Nor would I say it is a classic drama, but more of a movie about growing as people and coming to terms with whom and what you are.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story in u0026quot;Paper Manu0026quot; is very warm, heartfelt and straight forward. It moves forward in a good pace, and you are never left bored throughout the course of the movie. Now, the movie is obviously kept afloat by the superb acting performances of Jeff Daniels and Emma Stone. I think this is one of the best roles I have ever had the pleasure of seeing Jeff Daniels in. Not saying that his previous work is bad, just that this is outstanding. And Emma Stone worked so well opposite Daniels in her role, despite being that much younger than Daniels.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe role of Ryan Reynolds, well it was essential to the movie, although I think it would have worked better with an unknown actor for that role. But still, Reynolds is not a bad actor, but he didnu0026#39;t really shine through in this role, at least not for me. Lisa Kudrow performed adequately as well, although it did seem like her character didnu0026#39;t come off as strong on the screen as it was intended.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou might think a movie like this would be for a female audience, but I found it to be very nice, as a guy. The story is captivating and the performances are good. The story is not at any point too sassy, and at the end of the movie, you come to appreciate the movie for what it is. A unique piece of cinema about how people grow.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is definitely not a movie you should let pass you by. Do yourself the favor and sit down to watch it (with or without your significant other). This is a very, very nice movie.”
